Funcom Chooses

Xbox Funcom has dropped Playstation 2 development in favor of an all Xbox approach. The company says that the change will allow it to reduce the cost and production cycle of next generation games by as much as 20 percent. "After evaluating PlayStation 2 and Xbox technology for several months we have taken the strategic decision to go for Xbox," said Funcom President Andre Backen, "Transferring our long-term experience from console, PC and Internet development into Xbox development is only a matter of small organizational adjustments."
